Michael Marchand

About

Mountain living has been on Michael’s mind since she learned to ski at the age of 4. Just one conversation with her will have you convinced of her passion for all things Steamboat, her home base since 2014. Originally from Louisiana, Michael spent many ski vacations in Steamboat, and made the move permanently after graduating from Louisiana State University. Since then, she hasn’t looked back and has taken every opportunity to integrate herself into the community, becoming involved with many local organizations and immersing herself in the Steamboat lifestyle.For Michael, a career in real estate perfectly aligned with her desire to help others find their place in the Yampa Valley. She was fortunate to be able to learn the business from the ground up, initially joining the Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty team as an administrative assistant. Her experience in this role was an invaluable stepping stone in developing her skillset, as she gained notable proficiency with all of the different facets of real estate and developed a rapport with her real estate colleagues and peers in the community. Since earning her broker’s license, Michael has seized the opportunity to work alongside two top-producing Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty brokers, where she has gained extensive experience in both the residential and farm & ranch markets. Michael is often recognized for defying the millennial stereotype as evidenced by her ‘can do’ attitude in the face of a challenge, her strong work ethic, and her dedication to professional growth. Michael is best known by her clients for her willingness to go the extra mile and for fostering a relationship that spans beyond the real estate transaction.
